ATTACHMENTv FOR GRATES RSTOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,690, dated June 14. 1887.

Application filed November 10, 1386. Serial NolQlSA-l. (No model.)

`To all whom, t may concern..-

invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. o

The object of this invention isto produce a simple and economically-constructed means Vfor attachment to open tire-places or gasstoves for supporting an evaporating-vessel in asuitable position adjacent to the re Vfor Vdisseminating warmth and moisture in the air of apartments heated by such tires, and com- -posed of conveniently-adj ustable parts that can be readily attached to a {ire-place in different positions, and thatcan be easily. removed as occasion may require. These results are attained by the mechanism illustrated in the drawings herewith iled as part hereof, in which the same letters of reference denote the same parts in the different views.

Y Figure 1 represents a mantel and open fireplace of the ordinary kind, provided with my improved means for applying an evaporatingvessel thereto. tion of one of the parts. Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective representation of one of the parts. Figs. 4 and 5 represent adjustablearms of different forxns, adapted for use in connection with the part shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is aperspective representation, partly in sect-ion, oi'an evaporating-vessel adapted for use in conncc tion with the parts shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

A designates an ordinary open-grate fireplace, and B designates a clamp-block for connecting asustaining-arm to the arc-h or other part of the fire-place front. This clamp-block is of U form, having-the arms b bAk and the bend or cross portion b2. An eye, b', is formed trans versely in the arm b, to receive the clampingscrew B', by means of which the block isheld securely in position upon the fire-place front. L

b3 designates an eye formed transversely through the bend 5 117, an eye formedtransversel y through the arm b4, and b5 b designate eyes or sockets formed in the rim or edge of the arm b4, said eyes b3 b Ig b7 being designed to receive Fig'. 2 is a similar representa! the sustaining-arms, as hereinafter described. One or two clamps lnay be employed.

To support a vessel without a handler-such as shown in Fig. l-d-two clamps will be necessary, to be applied in the manner shown, and such clamps may be attached to the body of the mantel at a greater or less distance from 127 of the screw-clamp B.

G is an arm, preferably madel of cast-iron, and having divergent-extensions G,with perpendicular projections g at the ends, andan angular extension, g', at the end'of the arm opposite thereto, for a purpose hereinafter eX- plained.

H represents an evaporating-vesseLmade of any suitable material and provided at its bottom H with either a screw-threaded socket, h., or a series of plain sockets, h', which may be secured to thc bottom of the vessel by any snitable means. of adapting the vessel to be therebytirmly secured to the screw-threaded end of the arm` illustrated in Fig. 5. By providing the bottom fof the vessel with a series of sockets, h, the

same may be firmly secured to an arm of the forni shown in Fig. 5, and either of the arms F F or G G may be connected with the screwclamp B by inserting their rectangular extensionsf or g in the sockets b3, b5, b, and bl. A vessel having a series of plain sockets, h', on its bottom may be connected with and supportedby the clamp B B by means of suitably bent and extended arms set into the socket-s The socket h is for the purpose b3, b5, b", and b, of the clamp B. (Fully shown in Fig. 3.) Y

By reason of the adjustable connection of the arms with the clamp the evaporating-vessels may be put in anydesired position relative to the re that may be necessary to cause a suitable amount of evaporation of water in the vessel to temper the air ot' the apartment as occasion .may require, :md the mechanism muy be readily detached and removed from the fue piace during seasons of the year when fires are not desirable.

Having explained the features of my im provement, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1S-

l. The improved attachment herein desciibed,eonsisting of the U-sha,pedle1oekhaw` ing the eye b in one of its arms, the screw B in said eye, the eye Ii in its bend7 and the eyes b5 b I;7 in itsoppesite mfm, :is described.

2. The eo111bi1mti011,\vith the Ushaped block having the eye /in 011e of its arms, the eye b3 in its bend, and the eyes b b b7 in its opposite arm, of the clampingeerew set in the eye b and a supporting-rod set in one of its remailling eyes, as Set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
